| On a i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1 system, the macros WIFEXITED, WEXITSTATUS 
| and WIFSIGNALLED aren't present in the headers octave is including.

Doesn't your system have a /usr/include/sys/wait.h file that includes
waitstatus.h and then defines WIFEXITED, WEXITSTATUS, and WIFSIGNALLED
in terms of the __* versions of these macros?  That's the way it is
done on my system, which is a linux gnulibc1 system as well.
